Type made from paper is the latest

which large type for printing placards can
be made from pulp. Such letters are at

Gated and reduced to a powdered or COM
minuted state. after which it is thoroughly
mixed with water prcofing liquid or ma
terial-such rs paraflne oil or a drying
Gnseed oil, for instance. The mixture is
then dried, and subsequently pulverized.
In its pulveriZed state it is introduced
into mold Of the requisite construction
TO produce the desired article, type or
block, and then subjected TO pressure to
consolidate it and heat TO render tacky or
adhesive the water prooting material.
Finally, the type is cooled while in the
mold, so a. TO cause it TO retain its shape
and solidity.-Boston Transcript.

Names of Southern Negroes.

Names OF Southern Negroes.
A Yankee friend of mine in speaking Of
the Limekiln club says: ''It is inimitable,
only that the names of the members are
so exaggerated When l wrote her list
OF the queer names that have become SO
familiar to me from much hearinI she de-
clared that she would retract her opinion
OF the Lmekiln names being exaggerated.
The negroes generally take their names
either from their surroundings or obtain
them from the white people, often mixing
up names in the most homogeneous style.
Lily is the favorite name for the blacklist
pickaninny among them. Our Old wash
erwoman named her only child Mary
Mandy Selma Pleasant Delightful. A
bow legged young defendant OF liam re-
Joices in the name of Shadrach Meshach
Abednego-though he is generally known
as Shad
A fond young mother could not decide
what to call her first son, so in her d.
lemrna applied to young lady, who told
her to call him Willipus Wallapus. The
name tickled her fancy and now WilIpus
Wallapus is added to the list. This same
negro has since become the mother of
daughter, and in speaking of her a few
days since says: II amt sot on no name
AoA deA ~, oLO IL tItHtT CtAi MI SUech
Victoria or Mrs. Cleveland She also
has stepsOn, an overgrown fellow 81 II
or Is, who bears the sweet name Of Rose
bud Tabb. But perhaps the most ridicu-
lous names are found in those of the
children of a half witted negro near this
place. There are three of them, named
respectively Heaven, He'll and Moses
Smote the Water. A party of picnickers
were very much startled in passing her
house one day to hear the following COM
mand: Look hyar, Heaven, you niggah,
you go down to Hell and git dat ar dip
per wot dey got down dere" 1t was only
after thorough investigation that she
could be understood. Cor. De-

FRIDAY. ...... JANUARY q, 1897.
An important Decision.

The Supreme Court of Appeals OF
Virginia yesterday rendered IA decision
of great importance. The opinion OF
the Court appears in our columns this
morning. In effect the decision is that
a merchant cannot do business in this
Commonwealth without a license,
whether he has made to the pro
per officer a tender in coupons
or not This is, indeed, an impor-
tant decision and is considered by
our highest State court as in no wise
in conflict with any decision of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States.
This decision comes in just IN time to
prevent the treasury of the Common
wealth from being filed with coupons
by unpatriotic merchants. For it was
not concealed by the friends of an extra
session of the General Assembly that
one n their main reasons for favoring
the same was the fear that in the
absence of additional legislation,
and under the pressure brought
by the bondholders to bear upon the
merchants TO induce them to tender
coupons for the license taxes, stream
of coupons would be turned into the
treasury next May.
Read the opinion, and rejoice that
the Commonwealth has escaped one
mere peril.

A pi.xrnee 20 His Cloth.

Dalton. Ga, is in q ferment OF ex-
element over sensational episode
which has Just come 10 light. About
twelve months ago the Rev. j. II. Dunn,
a Methodist minister, who has been In
the pulpit for thirteen years, and 10
known throughout North Georgia as an
eloduent and earnest divine, CAME to
Dalton pursuant TO call and preached
several sermons. Shortly afterward he
went into business with Mr.. L. Ii. Trip
lett, and they had an extensive trade.
Dunn was held in the highest esteem by
every one, and had the fullest confidence
Of the community. About two weeks
ago a dashing blonde named Mary Pur-
cell came to Dalton from Dawson, Ga,
the former home of Dunn. The latter
is a married man, with a family OF four
children, the eldest being fifteen years
Of age. He excited some comment by
his attention to the young lady, and a
day or two ago the report was current
that they were on too intimate relations
Early this morning the girl left town,
and an hour nfterward Dunn left in
buggy, and the guilty couple are now
fleeing to some western town. 1t de-
velops that Dunn had been constantly
stealing from his partner for twelve
months past and had embezzled fully

nesday with the friends of the BLAIR
bill on the motion of Mr.. WILLIS, of
Kentucky, to lay Mr.. MoRRIsoN's fill
clustering motion upon the table. Mr.
TUCKER voted with Mr.. MORRISON. Mr..
MoRRIsoN's motion was laid upon the
table by a large ma ority-163tO78. Mr..
SPRINGER, also Of Illinois, and also an
enemy of the BLAIR bill, moved to refer
the resolution which had led to these
motions to the COmmiS,Cg4t sd srnd
demanded the previous question. Mr..
WILLIS demanded the yeas and nays on
this motion. The friends of education
ordered the yeas and nays by a vote Of
222 TO 81. But before vote on the
resolution to fix the Goth day of Janu-
ary for the consideration of the educa-
ton biz could be reached the hour for
the consideration of bills had expired.
These votes show that the BLAIR bill
is very strong in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Indeed, it might seem to
some that they indicate that it could be
passed upon a motion to suspend the
rules and pass it; but it can hardly be
strong enough to command "A two

Not only was the internal-revenue
tax not laid for moral effects, but its

have brought about a state Of things

Just here. The internalreyenue tax
was not laid for moral effects, nor were
such effects considered when il was laid.

1t would seem that BISMARCK did not
reckon without his host when he told
the Reichstag that the Emperor could
appeal with confidence to the Prussian
Diet for the means considered neces
sary for the army. The address of the
upper house Of the last-named body to
the Emperor is in full sympathy with
the demands the Chancellor made upon
the Reichstag and his views touching
the necessity of his measure in its
entirety as means of preserving
peace. 1t is instinct with patriotism
and affection for the old Kaiser, and it
cannot be doubted that it has sounded
the keynote of the Government in the
coming elections for the new
Reichstag. And this is not
all that indicates that the triumph of
the progressists and their allies in the
Reichstag will be short-hved. The
manner in which France has inter-
preted BISMARCK defeat cannot
fail to make il plain to the German
masses that neither Won MoLKE nor the
Chancellor took too serious view of
the situation. The progressists will rely
in the approaching contest of ballots
upon showing that the Constitution is
"a sham, but the'Gernan people have
not yet arrived at the point where such
a cry eau drown the'appeal of the En-
peror to perpetuate the union which
las cost so much blood and treasure.
Besides, whatever contempt BISMARCK
may have shown for the German Par
Lament, it appears that he acted within
the Constitution, and i'll dissolving the
Reiehstag only exercised the recognized
prerogatiye Of his Office.
